anto Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Their only hope that the engine was high enough not to compress their bodies .Either way it will be a bad injury . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The lady in the blue clothes seemed most concerned. The 15 y.o. driver took his time getting out of the cab. Ran right over them and dragged them a few yards and drove over an arm. I wonder what the charges and punishment will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z42 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Incredible. And what I wonder will be the justification for letting some brainless young kid drive the pickup (other than laziness on behalf of the parents). I hope the victims recover fully and quickly and seek to absolutely hammer the idiot family for damages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 here there was a 12 year old girl that used to drive herself to school, her father bragged about it and posted videos. Nothing happened, police did bugger all, any wonder Thailand is ragged by so many as being backward, when the population totally ignores all the rules/laws and the police refuse to enforce them you get what we have here every day of the week, one huge cesspit of corruption. If the police actually did their jobs and enforced the laws Thailand wouldnt be such a joke but that will never happen, backhanders and tea money are too much a part of their lives plus they are too lazy to actually do anything physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Lets bet there are not punishments for the kid driver or his family. I feel so bad for the couple that got injured. I see children driving motor bikes a lot out where I live... kids that look no older than 10, with even younger children and toddlers on the back.. none with helmets on... going all over the road. Nobody does anything, because it seems nobody could give a toss about the children, or anyone else apart from themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenewgoo Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just shows you need to watch out for the traffic coming the wrong way down a street as well as the oncoming traffic. All traffic rules are optional here. Hope they are OK and the child's parent face the courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheops Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 36 minutes ago, Destiny1990 said: Example of driving up to international standards? Today I went to make a Thai driving license and there were at least 2 people who should definitely NOT pass the physical tests. Firstly a guy who could not see the correct colors on the VERY big traffic light test! But after about 10 tries he just 'passed' the test, although he was severely colorblind. Second a girl who could NOT brake in time at the reaction speed brake test, but no problem: passed as well. I don't condone that 15 year olds should be driving, but many 15 year olds are not worse in driving than most people over here! (In the US several states allow to start driving (learning) at the age of 14!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 On any given day, at any given hour in any major town and city around the world, there are kids too young to drive behind the wheel. Whether it's a filched vehicle, sneaking out with Mom's grocery getter or poor parenting, it's certainly not unique to Thailand. That's not to defend it. Just puts some perspective on all the Thai bashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya28 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 All quite normal. Child reversing at speed. Not even looking. Yesterday we were told Thailand "drivers" up to "international standard" Doesn't even "beggar-belief" anymore. Just "normal". On and on and on this senseless road carnage.
